That was too weird, but went and scoped them.

So, question is, why were they just standing there? No escorts, nothing!
firstly, welcome to Subsim , and thanks for joining!

you encountered the Truk ANCHORAGE. (lol)
that means ships are parked there for a lot of different reasons that are not intuitively obvious within the game.
the mod creators placed those parked-ships there to emulate an anchorage, similar to Pearl harbor before 12/7/1941.
you may find that Truk will become less accessible as the war proceeds due to sub nets and mine fields. so, mind how you go.

lastly, the graphic link that you embedded displayed fine when copy-pasted on its own, so there might be a problem with the way Google presents itself in the link. i suggest using a free image hosting site such as Imgbb.com. you will need to establish an id/password but you are not required to pay fees unless you want to. i have been using it, free, for a number of years. and, no i am not in any-way-shape-or-form connected to Imgbb.com.

good luck, Herr Kaleun.
